Microsoft really let its creative side shine through with the Surface Pro. It's a superb-looking device with enough processing power to make full use of the company's productivity suites. Unfortunately, the low battery life, heat issues and less-than-adeq...
Let's be clear, this isn't a companion device like most tablets to date are, it is very much a full-blown PC that allow you to run pretty much any Windows 7 or Windows 8 app either within the Windows 8 Metro interface or on the desktop, multi-tasking betw...
The Surface Pro is the best Windows tablet we've used. It also makes a pretty good laptop. But as a tablet it's not match for the best iOS or Android devices, and as a Windows laptop it can't compete with Ultrabooks. It's portability and performance will...
Outstanding screen, Innovative design, Windows 8 at its best, Comes with Wacom digitser pen
Heat and noise, No digitiser pen storage, Woeful battery life, Shallow app store
The Surface Pro hints at genius but implodes under the weight of its own ambition. But the potential is plain to see. It's a welcome and compelling alternative to an Apple and Google dominated future. Make it lighter and last longer, however, and Microsof...

No keyboard included, expensive, so-so battery life, chunkier and heavier than many tablet competitors, stated storage isn't realised (128GB is approx 85GB), kickstand angle isn't adjustable, poor camera quality
Surface Pro becomes more than a list of pros and cons after a proper period of use, as much as we've been toing and froing between the highs and lows a week of use has brought with it. Despite its sizeable list of downsides, you know what, we've sti...
Beautiful HD screen; Full Windows 8; Good performance
Inflexible kickstand; Too heavy; Expensive; Virtually unserviceable; Soso battery life
The Surface Pro fails to live up to expectations. Despite the HD screen and solid performance, it's weak when it comes to portability and doesn't do enough to stand out from OEM competitors....

Abstract: Finally, it's here: Microsoft Surface Pro has landed in the UK and Pocket-lint has got hold of the 128GB version of the tablet PC. Many months later than anticipated, and far behind other manufacturers' Windows 8 hybrid launches, has the wait for Surface...
